This is the one time of year I pay any attention to basketball. I've filled out a few brackets, one of which I have UW Huskies and Gonzaga both going to the Final Four :lifter Both are local favorites and could end up facing each other in the Finals, however unlikely.
I think Pitt will win it all in the end.
Who are your favorites?
Made it through the first round only droping two games n my brackets:munchin, now it gets tough
Maryland picked up a quality win over CA yesterday. Looked good and really broke their rhythm up. We will see how Saturday goes against Memphis.

Finals = Arizona State vs. Arizona
Champion = ASU Sun Devils
(Who will erase the 'bad juju' they got put on them many years ago for the disgraceful way the university dismissed Ned Wulk. Herb Sendek is a genius. And, don't forget, the UofA Wildcats are in the tourney thanks to the brilliant interim coach they have - a former ASU assistant coach!)
You say it can't happen??? Oh yeah, well all I can say is this: Arizona Cardinals not only IN the SuperBowl, but almost won it! Anything can happen!

As a card carrying Zag with a sheepskin to prove it, I'd like to be as optimistic as you. Unfortunately, we drew the same bracket as UNC, who look pretty damned good right now.
After the first round, I was ranked 267 on Yahoo with 29 of 32 picks right. Unfortunately Wake Forest screwed me over as I had them going to the Final Four after beating Louisville in the Great 8. Ooops.
Go Zags!

GO ZAGs
Gonzaga class of '79 (the best six years of my life-- just kidding)
The three Zags fans here must know something the rest of us don't

How about those MU Tigers and the whoopin' they put on Memphis last night.
GO MU!!
MIZ ZOU RAH
11 MU players were on the court and 9 scored. Not bad for a team the conference coaches voted 6th place prior to the season. What really makes it nice is Mike Anderson just doesn't just belong to that fraternity of really good coaches, but he is a truly fine man and demands the same of his players.
Now as for beating U Conn Sat, damn they're good. Either way, I will be proud Mizzou fan.

MIZZOU is truly a team, not just a superstar or two with supporting cast. Glad to see them playing to the level they did back when Sunvold and Stipanovich played.
Ditto on Anderson. He is not only developing them as BB players, but as men.

http://www.fayobserver.com/article?id=322244 Oh come mon! Pete. Whadda spect from a North Carolina paper? :p
This is catholic school, as Elwood Blue's would say "We're on a mission from Gawd."
Note to all Catholics: This is a JESUIT school so ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do?" (cheer on the Zags and drink lots of beer! see you at Jack and Dan's -- I wish):D

Unless the Zags are going to suit up Turiaf (former Laker), Morrison (current Laker), and Stockton (Laker arch nemisis), they're going to face an uphill climb tonight. (It looks like I'm stuck with the Arizona game out here.:()

It is Carolina all the way! Huh? What IS that shrill noise?
Oh, it's you . . . what ARE you talking about? Basketball season was over long ago. :p
Zags Baseball now.;)

I'd have replied sooner (sorry, Echoes) but I had to clean coffee off the keyboard.:D
Dozer, surely you spent enough time in or near LaLa Land to know that the baseball bandwagon out here departs late in the summer at the earliest. We need the extra months to figure out (a) if the Dodgers are worth our time this season and (b) where to park in Chavez Ravine.
In any case, basketball season does not end until the Lakers are either celebrating a triumphant run to the Larry O'Brien Trophy or we Laker fans have finished bawling and grousing about the damned Celtics, or forbid, the damned Spurs or the damned Cavaliers. (Or we'll just find a way to blame it all on Shaquille O'Neal...again.:rolleyes:)

Dodgers are just another New York team.:p Sig, if you want to see good ball at reasonable prices in a great "intimate" stadium. Get on the 210 east and get off at Rancho Cucamonga. Watch a little Quakes Baseball!

That sounds like a good way to spend a day.:D
Wait. Did you say "Rancho Cucamonga"!?! There's a city with some odd parking requirements <<LINK (http://municipalcodes.lexisnexis.com/codes/ranchocu/_DATA/TITLE17/Chapter_17_12_Parking_Regulati.html)>>. (5 parking spaces per thousand square feet for a medical office building is a bit high. And why can't you get a parking study for shopping malls with fewer than 1 million square feet of gross leasable area? No, I'm not bitter. I'm just sayin' certain sectors of the economy would be in much better shape if cities didn't require developers to over build parking. Nope, not bitter at all.:mad:)
